Whoosh!
The hall erupted into a commotion, filled with whispers and discussions. Some people even sought confirmation from Wan Bao.
Even with his thick skin, Wan Bao couldn't just assert an easily debunked lie, so he forced a smile and said,
"Cultivating immortality is indeed a defiance of the heavens. If Ancestor Xuan Xiao could achieve Nascent Soul, it means the heavens have left us a sliver of hope, and we might not be without chances!"
Everyone shook their heads, their interest in the Nine Continents greatly diminished.
The Golden Elixir True Monarchs initially had high hopes for the Nine Continents, desiring to leverage the decline of the demonic path to snatch away heritage and resources. With luck, they might break through to Nascent Soul and extend their lifespan.
Now that they knew the heavens and earth had changed, rendering the Nascent Soul scriptures obsolete, who would want to risk their lives against the demonic path?
